LAHORE: Senator Faisal Vawda once again challenged a Supreme Court judge to prove that he is acting as a proxy.
Senator Vawda asserted that there are no restrictions on him preventing him from holding a press conference. He emphasized his freedom as a Pakistani citizen and expressed frustration over international and Indian newspapers labeling him a proxy, questioning if his honor remains intact. He demanded that evidence be provided against him.
He questioned the rationale behind receiving a show cause notice for contempt of court, arguing that he spoke on behalf of the common people of Pakistan. Vawda stated that if his sentencing could rectify the justice system, he was willing to face it. Referring to Nawaz Sharif’s recent comments, he noted that it was the first time he felt Sharif had been significantly wronged.
Vawda claimed that no other narratives remain except his own and that the Pakistani nation stands behind him, suggesting that this support could change the country’s fate. He declared himself impartial yet committed, underscoring his extensive worldly experience and personal dedication to the cause.
He criticized the demolition of the Nasla Tower, which affected poor people’s homes, and questioned why the Constitution Tower couldn’t also be demolished, insisting that there shouldn’t be double standards in law. He challenged the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) by comparing their situation to his own, arguing that he has been unfairly silenced for speaking the truth and questioning how his statements constitute contempt of court.
Vawda stood by every word he said during his press conference and declared that he would retaliate against anyone who tried to dishonor him. He adamantly denied being a terrorist or committing any violence, asserting his right to speak out and vowing to continue doing so, even at great personal cost.
He recalled an incident involving a boat where he felt pressured by the military and Imran Khan to apologize, but maintained that he never intended to insult the army and stood by his statements. He claimed to have given Pakistan a unifying narrative that no other leader could offer and criticized the delayed acknowledgment of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s wrongful execution, calling for accountability.
Vawda expressed his commitment to appearing before the judiciary, praising Chief Justice and other judges as honorable, and acknowledged his resignation from PTI-related posts out of respect. He maintained his willingness to criticize wrongdoing regardless of the individual’s position.
In his closing remarks, Vawda rejected dirty politics, reiterated his readiness to defend his honor, and insisted that his actions and statements are backed by evidence. He stressed that accountability must be upheld and criticized the preferential treatment of certain political figures.
